Chelys (original) (raw)
El chelys (en griego antiguo, χέλυς en latín, testudo), era un instrumento musical de cuerda, la lira común en la música de la Antigua Grecia. La caja de resonancia tenía una parte posterior convexa hecha con el caparazón de una tortuga o bien de madera.

| dbo:abstract | Η χέλυς ή αλλιώς χελώνη ήταν έγχορδο μουσικό όργανο, κοινό με τη λύρα των αρχαίων Ελλήνων, ονομαζόμενο έτσι από την κυρτή πλάτη ξύλου που είχε σε σχήμα, όπως το κέλυφος της χελώνας. Η λέξη χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως υπαινιγμός για την παλαιότερη λύρα των Ελλήνων, η οποία λέγεται ότι εφευρέθηκε από τον Ερμή. Η λέξη έχει εφαρμοστεί αυθαίρετα από την κλασική εποχή σε διάφορα έγχορδα όργανα και σήμερα υπάρχουν πολλές αναπαραστάσεις της σε ελληνικά αγγεία, σε πολλές από τις οποίες αντιπροσωπεύεται από ένα πραγματικό κέλυφος. Το 2012 στο τμήμα Μηχανικών Μουσικής Τεχνολογίας και Ακουστικής του ΤΕΙ Κρήτης μελετήθηκε με σύγχρονες μεθόδους ένα αυθεντικό αντίγραφο μιας αρχαίας ελληνικής χέλυος επιβεβαιώνοντας ότι η αρχαία χέλυς ήταν όργανο που συνόδευε την ανθρώπινη φωνή στην ίδια τονικότητα. (el) The chelys or chelus (Greek: χέλυς, Latin: testudo, both meaning "turtle" or "tortoise"), was a stringed musical instrument, the common lyre of the ancient Greeks, which had a convex back of tortoiseshell or of wood shaped like the shell. The word chelys was used in allusion to the oldest lyre of the Greeks, which was said to have been invented by Hermes. According to the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, he came across a tortoise near the threshold of his mother's home and decided to hollow out the shell to make the soundbox of an instrument with seven strings. The word has been applied arbitrarily since classic times to various stringed instruments, some bowed and some plucked, probably owing to the back being much vaulted. Athanasius Kircher (Musurgia universalis, 486) applied the name of chelys to a kind of viol with eight strings. Numerous representations of the chelys lyre or testudo occur on Greek vases, in which the actual tortoiseshell is depicted. A good illustration is given in Le Antichità di Ercolano (vol. i. p1. 43). Propertius (iv. 6) calls the instrument the lyra testudinea. Joseph Justus Scaliger was probably the first writer to draw attention to the difference between the chelys and the kithara. The acoustics of an authentically reconstructed ancient Greek tortoise-shell lyre, known as chelys, was investigated in 2011. Modern experimental methods were employed, such as electronic speckle pattern laser interferometry and impulse response, to extract the vibrational behavior of the instrument and its main parts. Additionally, the emitted sound from the instrument was recorded, under controlled conditions, and spectrally analyzed. Major findings include the concentration of the emitted sound between 400 Hz and 800 Hz, with an amplitude modified in a manner consistent with the experimentally measured vibrational characteristics of the instrument’s sound box and bridge. The experimental results validate the historical evidence that chelys was used in Greek antiquity as an accompaniment instrument to the human voice.

Seu nome provém do grego, que quer dizer "tartaruga", devido ao fato de que o casco da tartaruga era usado como a caixa de ressonância do instrumento. (pt) |
